Theoretical Background

Physics describes the fundamental mechanism of the universe. The Specific Heat Calculator is an essential tool for understanding Specific Heat Calculator in quantitative terms. Calculate heat energy (Q).

Mathematical Formulation

The relationship between the variables is governed by the following equation:

Result = m × c × dt
Eq 1.1: Governing Formula

Variable Legend

Symbol Parameter Unit
m Mass (m) kg
c Specific Heat (c) J/kg·K
dt Change in Temp (ΔT) °C

Practical Calculation Example

Problem

Calculating the result when:

  • Mass (m) = 55 kg
  • Specific Heat (c) = 40 J/kg·K
  • Change in Temp (ΔT) = 60 °C

Solution

Substituting into Eq 1.1:

Result = 55 × 40 × 60
